Lambert will post full results when he's got them, but the men managed to beat out the USA for the first time. And it was not a team of slouches for the Americans, either: Joe Gray and Zac Freudenberg are perennial national team members.

Vague results (from Lambert):

1) Joe Gray (team USA)
2) Taylor Murphy (team Canada)
3) Ivan Babikov (turned down team spot)
4) Adrian Lambert (team Canada)
5) Brandon Lord (team USA)
6) Kris Swanson (team Canada)
7) Zac Freudenberg (team USA)

USA women finished 1-2-4 (or was it 1-2-3).
Top Canadian women:
Maria Zambrano
Brooke Gosling
Sara Weselake
Emily Solsberg
Amy Golumbia

Course was shortened due to aggressive grizzly bear activity.

A good article on the race by Mihira Lakshman:
